What this bond does

This is license security for the commercial general classification on an Arizona Registrar of Contractors application. ROC's bond table includes general engineering contractors within the commercial general schedule.

Who needs it
Businesses preparing a commercial general contractor license bond that matches their ROC classification, rather than a commercial specialty or dual-license request.
Who it protects
The state license form provides security for the statutory beneficiaries described in A.R.S. §32-1152. It is not the same instrument as a separate performance or payment bond for a customer's project.

Your bond option

This is the option on record for this bond.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Use annual volume, not the next contract alone

ROC's commercial general schedule starts at $5,000 for anticipated annual gross volume of $150,000 or less. It increases across six volume bands, reaching $100,000 above $10 million.

Read the applicable band in the official table using the contemplated volume per license. A project's contract amount is not, by itself, the annual volume or required bond amount.

Confirm the general-commercial classification

Commercial specialty has a separate schedule with different amounts. Do not use its lower-volume amount for this general-commercial request merely because both involve commercial work.

The general-commercial title also does not establish residential authority. A dual classification has a separately identified residential bond component.

Move from RLI issuance to the ROC file

Purchase Now opens RLI in a new tab. Apply using the business identity, ROC classification and amount for the correct volume band; check the issued form and execution before filing.

ROC requires a continuous bond, not an instrument with a termination date. Its guidance also makes filing necessary for effectiveness. Keep the filing instructions and any cancellation or replacement correspondence with the license file; checkout alone does not prove an active license.

Questions about this bond

Does this schedule include general engineering contractors?

ROC's bond amount table expressly includes general engineering within commercial general. Match your actual ROC classification rather than assuming the title alone authorizes particular work.

Is a commercial specialty amount interchangeable?

No. ROC publishes a different schedule for commercial specialty contractors. Use the schedule for the classification in the application.

Does continuous mean I can ignore cancellation?

No. ROC says a surety can cancel with notice to the licensee and Registrar, and an unreplaced cancelled bond can lead to suspension. Continuous does not mean impossible to cancel.
